Quote:If you only go by who the best player is regardless of position, you will have many players you don't need and very few you do.

 

BAP drafting will give you this: two elite players at the same position and no decent players at another position. Needs based drafting is the only way to rebuild a team.

 

If you have two elite players at a position that means somebody else has problems. If you can have five elite offensive linemen please do. I need to find equal value for every pick I use.

 

You keep drafting the best players available until your roster can not longer be improved talent-wise. Each addition to the roster builds talent. If you continue to draft well selecting the best possible football players you can find, all those needs go away. You have a talent-rich roster able to compete with the rest of the NFL.

 

Doesn't it take two tackles to play NFL football?

 

If I already have Luke Joeckel, why do I take Jake Matthews? Well, because you will have two elite tackles on the same roster. 

 

You are as talented at tackle as you can possibly be? Nope. If I can draft another elite tackle, I'll do it again. Why? Because I also know that elite talented offensive tackles can play a variety of positions on the offensive line. I value the elite prospect.

 

David Caldwell will be judged by his ability or inability to produce a talented roster.
